The AEGIS class command frigate was designed to fill the gap for any long range or detached mission in unfamiliar territory. Carrying onboard all facilities for complex repairs up to and including, but not limited to the design and manufacturing of new escort ships while underway without returning to a friendly port, as well as the crewing of said ships.
While the weapons and defences on it would make it a formidable opponent, the chance of damaging those critical systems leads this ship, as designed, to be used in a back-line support role, with the ability to interface directly with mining ships or mining carriers, the AEGIS class requires no logistical infrastructure to operate its flotilla.
In theory, even if it was the only remaining asset in a conflict it is entirely possible for an AEGIS class to fabricate a modular shipyard inside the Oort cloud of a system, and have an armadas of ships within a hundred years ready to repeat the process.
